Charles Newland Godfrey Jadis (6 November 1730 – March 1801) was a naval officer, army officer, and merchant in Canada. [1] Jadis served as a naval officer for several years and was once shipwrecked in the Saint Lawrence River.[1] In 1769 he purchased land near Gagetown, New Brunswick, and moved there with his family.[1] There, he was harassed by fellow trader James Simonds and was forced to retreat to England.[1] He returned in 1772 and again encountered trouble, this time from supporters of the American Revolution.[1] Jadis left the Saint John and returned to England, where he died.
